JOHNSON SPACE CENTER, HOUSTON, TEXAS -- EXPEDITION FIVE CREW INSIGNIA
(ISS05-S-001) -- The International Space Station (ISS) Expedition Five
patch depicts the Station in its completed configuration and
represents the vision of mankind's first step as a permanent human
presence in space. The United States and Russian flags are joined
together in a Roman numeral V to represent both the nationalities of
the crew and the fifth crew to live aboard the ISS. Crew members'
names are shown in the border of this patch. This increment
encompasses a new phase in growth for the Station, with three Shuttle
crews delivering critical components and building blocks to the
ISS. To signify the participation of each crew member, the Shuttle is
docked to the Station beneath a constellation of 17 stars symbolizing
all those visiting and living aboard Station during this
increment. The NASA insignia design for Shuttle flights is reserved
for use by the astronauts and for other official use as the NASA
Administrator may authorize. Public availability has been approved
only in the forms of illustrations by the various news media. When and
if there is any change in this policy, which is not anticipated, the
change will be publicly announced.
